HIV Meds available in Europe

Sep 29, 2005

I recently started HIV treatment on Sustiva and Truvada combo. I have had no side effects and first labs after treatment showed a nice drop in VL. I may have the opportunity to spend an extended time in Europe, particularly the Netherlands. Are these medications available there? Also, is there a resource to find international HIV specialists? Thanks for your great work.

Dear K-
It's good to hear that you're tolerating medications well. Both medications are available in Europe.

As for the Netherlands, the country has excellent HIV care. I'd search the
